A top priority for several Minnesota ag groups has resurfaced as Governor Walz seeks to extend his emergency powers.

House Ag and Food, Finance and Policy Division chair Jeanne Poppe says last night during the latest special session the House passed a bill that includes full Section 179 conformity.

“Very strong bipartisan support. It does include bonding provisions, a tax provision which is primarily the Section 179 conformity, and then some supplemental spending that was kind of on the docket for the last number of months.”

The bill passed 100 to 34 and moves to the Senate, which plans to reconvene around midday today.
